How can you use “osteoclastogenesis” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Futures studies of the estrogen-treated mouse model are needed which are designed to address osteoclastogenesis and osteoprotegerin (OPG) secretion by osteoblasts.
Hofbauer et al suggest that the stimulation of the pool of M-CSF precursors to committed osteoclastogenesis by RANKL may be one of the central pathophysiologic pathways involved in increasing the number of osteoclasts in osteoporosis.
These data may help explain the contradictory findings regarding the effects of IFN-γ as an inhibitor of osteoclastogenesis, and also suggest a model of erosive disease in the presence of IFN-γ whereby osteoclast precursors are exposed to RANKL before they enter the IFN-γ-rich environment.
In contrast, Wei et al . have demonstrated that pre-osteoclasts do not lose their potential to differentiate into mature osteoclasts following a similar exposure to IL-4 [ 50 ] . It thus appears that IFN-γ anti-osteoclast activity is mediated by inducing terminal differentiation away from the osteoclast lineage, while IL-4 directly interferes with RANKL signaling during osteoclastogenesis.
The potency of IFN-γ as a macrophage activator and osteoclast inhibitor suggests a prominent role for T cells and/or NK cells in the regulation of bone resorption, as these cells constitute the major source of IFN-γ [ 18 ] . A link between activated T cells and osteoclast inhibition by IFN-γ has been highlighted in a report by Takayanagi et al ., providing the first in vivo evidence that the immune system may influence osteoclastogenesis [ 38 ] . Interestingly, other groups have demonstrated that activated T cells induce osteoclastogenesis via upregulation of surface RANKL, presenting a dilemma regarding the role of activated T cells in osteoclastogenesis [ 20 40 45 ] .
